  - Year 2020

  In this paper, a problem of autonomous ship utility model identification for control purposes is considered. In particular, the problem is formulated in terms of model parameter estimation (one-step-ahead prediction). This is a complex task due to lack of measurements of the parameter values, their time-variability and structural uncertainty introduced by the available models. In this work, authors consider and compare two utility...

  Hydrofitowa metoda utylizacji osadów ściekowych polega na stosowaniu wielowarstwowych nawodnień osadami o niskiej zawartości suchej masy najczęściej w złożach tzrcinowych. W metodzie tej odwadnianie spowodowane jest odciekaniem wód oraz ewapotransiracją. Osady ściekowe w złożach trzcinowych ulegaja częściowej stabilizacji i higienizacji. Złoża trzcinowe zapewniają wysoki stopień odwodnienia osadów.
